Shrink Item too OP

TheGrot··19 votes·8,645 views

Isn't the shrink chance supposed to be low? Feels like when I see it, it just goes off at least once every 3 autos. Frequently I see my level 2 champions getting double tapped and instantly become a level 0. What's up with that?

No joke, 80% of the time I'm against this item, two consecutive auto attacks reduce me by 2 levels. This is far too broken. Can we please fix this?

It's 25% chance last i checked which in my opinion is still too high for the power it brings to the fight.

agreed, especially since it is usually coupled on ranged attackers that can hit very fast or multiple targets... Rangers and GunSlingers are way too strong with this item.

rangers are strong, but gunslingers with the gunslinger buff with this item are just god tier.... Not that I would EVER do that though coughs

I mean, do what wins. If Riot creates broken things, abuse em cuz you know for damn sure someone else will if you don't.

just built a 3 star Lucian with 4 gunslinger synergy, cursed blade, rapid fire, and shojin. lul get rekt scrub.

i won some crazy ass fights when he was still a 1 and 2 star unit against much more stacked teams.

but to be fair, on hit items are generally bonkers on blademasters, rangers, and gunslingers. double item 3087 + item 3146 allows a strong unit with one of these synergies to aoe an entire team down and heal from almost 0 to 100 every 2 seconds.

i feel like we need more interesting defensive items like item 3053 item 3068 or spellshields who can deny on-hit effects. especially the demons mana burn.

item 3155 would be an interesting addition to negate like one of the nastier effects.

item 3005 would be fun on frontliners

item 3140 would be nice to be able to put on your units to negate Leona 7 second stun, and to build against glacials. it could also be used to counter the cursed blade and hush debuffs.

they could add a few more component items like item 3052 item 3751 item 3067 to the mode, and expand the item pool that way.

item 3067 = +30% crowd control reduction

item 3102 = item 3067 + item 1057 (start the fight with a 1 off spellshield that negates any single effect) item 3068 = item 3067 + item 1031 (burn aura) item 3005 = item 3067 + item 1038 (grants infinite stacking ad, that scales with health, every second) item 3053 = item 3067 + item 1011 (steraks burst shield when falling below 50% hp) summoner 1 = item 3067 + item 3070 (breaks crowd control and grants cc immunity for a few seconds) item 3027 = item 3067 + item 1058 (grants infinite stacking spell power for every second in combat) item 3085 = item 3067 + item 1043 (doesnt change)

spatula + negatron is just changed to another class conversion.

Shrink shouldnt be fixed. It should be eliminated.

What is broken is the mix of passives, abilities, and items that break champions and Riot fails to acknowledge it.

I don't think shrink is op, but if you have 3 shrinks + a silencer, that can be pretty annoying. But that's pretty much the only thing that can beat Ninja assassins besides more Ninja assassins, and I hate that everyone has to go Ninja Assassins.

Not to confuse with OP just right

Wouldn't mind it if I didn't see it 3-4 times in the same match by different people.

People just building rapid cannon + shrink + rage blade on a Tristana and putting her in the back. Unless you build assassin to counter it your team is going to get the shrink which isn't enjoyable. People also don't have to build gunslinger to abuse it because its that good.
